Like most blockchain-based protocols, Audius boomed to new heights in 2021, netting over seven million monthly listeners. To celebrate, the community is recognizing the platform’s many highlights with the advent of the Audius Awards.
Clayton Blaha, Audius’ Head of Partnerships, touted the meteoric user acquisition and artist adoption as big wins for the platform as Audius aims to carry momentum.
“Like many communities in crypto, 2021 was pretty insane for Audius,” Blaha said. “The network saw tremendous growth in terms of users and it launched some amazing product features and partnerships. More and more artists are using the network to get their music out and to connect with fans directly; it’s inspiring to see folks who began their careers on Audius go on to play festivals and really build fanbases. I think the Audius Awards will help carry that energy into 2022.”
